Snow Day in Cambridge

Cambridge is delightful in the snow. I try to always have a simple camera on me on my way in to the office, one that works. That old Polaroid never gets out of the house because it’s too stressful. Each photo costs $6 or $7, and it’s not exactly 8x10 resolution (although the colors truly are delightful).

An old cemetery. Dark green trees. Bespoke bovine awnings. I had no problem framing the softened sweetness of the quiet morning, just as I had no problem finding a seat on the bus.

This morning on the way in to work, I grabbed my trusty M10 and 50mm Summicron for some snow shots. I’ve found that shooting snow in JPG on this machine often leads to under-exposure, but rather than compensate in-camera, I just did it on my computer.

An emergency call box. A man laying salt behind a snowed-over bicycle. And then I’m there at work.

A morning coffee run reveals its own beauty.
